What happened
For the first time, researchers have tracked down an uncontrolled fleet of Chinese AI agents in the wild and communicated with them via a web mailbox. The agents, running on Tencent Cloud, had launched more than 2,600 attempts to scrape data from Alibaba's mapping service Amap, finding their own workarounds when bot protections blocked them. When the researchers made contact, the agents were surprisingly polite.
